Opening my eyes, the daylight filtered through the curtain penetrating the very barrier meant to keep it our. No matter the curtain resistance, the light broke free. Streams of yellow rays spread across my face, making it difficult for my eyes to adjust. Blinking I felt the warmth coming from the body next to me. Ashley lays on her side inhaling and exhaling in a steady rhythm, creating a pattern with Kyla’s breathing.

I’ve never been one to sit still for long. Becoming restless, I crawled out from the warmth, and was greeted with the bitter sweet cool air of morning. Throwing on a pair of shoes, a coat, and my Ipod, I stepped out into the streets of Baltimore. The light that was once hindered by curtains and blinds, was released to spread across everything.

Shielding my eyes from the intense glares of the sun, I switched on my Ipod and turned it on shuffle. My black 30 GB video Ipod quickly began searching as a started my walk. The first song was just another way to restate how lucky I really am.

“I’ll be coming to home just to be alone

I don’t you’re not there

And I know that you don’t care

I can hardly wait to leave this place.”

“Home home

This house is not a home home

This house is not a home”

Home by Three Days grace soared to life and died with a click of a button.

The second song began and my stride stayed the same, casual but far from relaxed. So far from.

“Silhouettes above the cradle hold me down

They wont let me go the wrong way

My mother taught me fables

Told me how

In the end all the sinners have to pay”

“But I don’t wanna live like my mother

I don’t wanna let fear rule my life

I don’t wanna live like my father

I don’t wanna give up before I die.”

“Fuck,” I cursed. Damn Ipod is out to get me. After going through Perfect by Simple plan, Just Like you by Three Days Grace, and Never Again by Nickelback, I finally ended up on Not Good Enough For Truth or Cliché by Escape the Fate. “Sitting in a room playing Russian Roulette.” I can work with this song. Every breath came out in puffs as the warm air contrasted with the cold.
